RE: Should we have bombed Syria even if Assad attacked his own people?
I use to own a video store and some kids from Somalia would come in, they were always laughing and happy go lucky. One day we got on the subject of racism and how they felt about it, they just laughed. They said it was nothing compared to fearing someone jumping out of some bushes with machetes going to hack you to death.
I think this guy has more than likely came from a worse place in life, at least his dialogue seems to convey that. He knows what it's like forpeople to suffer. So his initial response doesn't come as a shock. On the other hand I think before we intervene in any situation we should given be given the evidence they base these attacks on.
I agree, great post. Let's see some evidence first. And just as in our personal lives, let's look at our own actions before we start another war over someone else's alleged actions. Let's see some evidence first, and let's look at our own bombings first as well. I don't understand how our government thinks chemically bombing a group of people is any worse than us blowing them in half with our drone bombs. As if they're "more" dead from a chemical attack, and "less" dead from all our drone strikes on innocent persons.
